SHOULD I SEE HIM? YES!

For Psychotherapy:

• If problems block you from being yourself more freely, or keep you from reaching the level of success you wish. This could include fear of flying or public speaking (or any phobia), panic attacks, continued distress after a traumatic experience, performance anxiety, unresolved anger or sadness, depression, compulsive urges, and others.
• If you are unhappy about yourself, or your work, or your life direction.
• If you are dissatisfied with the quality of your relationships, including your family and love relationships, and your relationship to your body.
• If you are having difficulty coping with a major or chronic illness.
• If you are looking for ways to activate your innate healing abilities.

For Medical Qigong:

• If you have a health problem that is not resolving, or you want to jumpstart your healing ability.
• If you want to experience an approach that promotes inner harmony, strengthens the function of your inner organs, and harmonizes mind-body and spirit.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM THERAPY?

• A collaboration aimed at helping you reach your goals as quickly as possible—with energy informed integrative psychology methods, sometimes this can be in just a few sessions.
• Education. You should leave therapy knowing more about yourself and your circumstances.
• Empowerment. You should leave therapy equipped with a number of ways to cope with difficulties, and promote healing.
• Confidentiality, honesty, genuine concern.
• An integrated team approach with others at WholeHealth Chicago, as needed.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM TAO OF MEDICAL QIGONG SESSIONS?

FROM DR. STOLER…

“To me, therapy is a collaborative experience with an emphasis on self-healing and personal empowerment. My clients and I work together to reach goals that often include overcoming limiting symptoms, developing more fulfilling relationships, overcoming shame and self-defeating patterns, addressing family conflicts, identifying and pursuing one’s true purpose, becoming more spiritually aware, and living more joyfully.”
